How he Met an Attempt to Rescue a Pri-

Market.
lsrocinl iolerrnm 10 the ninnaich. !

DURHAM, n. c., February 8.-Last
night Parrish Ray (colored) was en-
gagged in fight, and was arrested under
a warrant by Constable Faucette. Sew
eral negroes followed the officer and
the prisoner, and the latter refused to
90 TO Jail unless allowed to go by his
home. The officer declined to grant
this request, whereupon riot began.
Faucette was alone and being hard
pressed by the maddened crowd. In the
mean time the prisoner, having torn him
self loose and advanced upon him with a
stick of timber in his hand, Faucette,
in self-defence, fired, and the prisoner
fell dead. The few white men who
came to the officers assistance at this
junction fled, when the negroes fired
several pistol-shots, hut without effect.
At the coroner's inquest this morning
it was ascertaincd that the ball pene-
trated the left breast of Ray. The de-
ceased was considered of very bad cha
racter, had served in the penitentiary,
and had frequently been before the
mayor for disorderly conduct.
Owing to favorable weather there
have been large tobacco breaks at all of
our warehouses to-day.
The residence of Mr. Butler was con-
sumed by fire two nights since.
Colonel r. +. Webb, who was strick-
en- with paralysis Sunday last, is re-
ported somewhat better to-day.

AxARRow ESCAPE.
A Young somnnmbuIist steps from
a Train mt Full speed.

A Cincinnati telegram says: A dis
patch from Xenia, this State, tells Of q
wonderful escape from injury of child
who fell from an express train running
at full speed. Mrs. L. Andrews, OF No.
80 Madison street, Newport, KY, was
on her way home from Cleveland, with
her four small children, She was on
the Pan Handle express, due ia Xenia
at 4:55 A. NJ. Her children were all
asleep, and she dropped asleep for a
few minutes herself. When she
awoke she was Mortified to find
that Charlie, her nine-year-old
boy, was missing. A hunt for him was
instituted by the train-men, but he
could not be found, and it became evil
dent that, either asleep or waking, he
had wandered out on the platform Of
the car and fallen off The train was
nearing Xenia, and when it reached
the station the determination was at
once reached TO send a party back to
look for the lost boy. Several train
men and passengers mounted yard
engine which was at hand, and ran
slowly up the track. Lights were so
placed on the engine as to enable the
party TO distinguish objects for a little
distance on both sides of the track.
The searchers hoped for nothing better
than to find the remains of the boy, per-
haps horribly mangled; but, after run
of eight miles they caught sight of him
crouched down by barbed wire fence,
An examination showed that he was not
only alive but had not received the
slightest injuries not even bruise
could be found. A light was thrown
across a field from the window of
farmhouse, and the boy had made an
unsuccessful effort to get through the
fence and 90 sin the direction of the
light. He had no recollection as to
leaving his mother and falling from the
train, which has given rise to the con
clusion that lie was walking in his
sleep. Upon the return of the party
to Xenis the train proceeded, having
been detained by the incident one hour
and forty minutes.

A RACE FOR LIFE.
Excited Negroes Determined 10
H.ynch One OF Their Own Race.

A Baltimore md. special says: The
excitement over the lurking case, !"
in which an old woman named Emily
Brown was murdered in order that her
body might be sold to medical col
lege for $15, increases daily, in spite of
the fact that it occurred several weeks
ago. The men arrested were Ross,
Perry, and Hawkins-all cOlored. Ross
was convicted, and Perry and Hawkins
were declared not guilty. BY their
own request they remained in
Jail until to-day. Perry was the
ianitor of the medical university
which purchased the body. Against
him the feeling among the negroes ran
especially high, because they thought
he had made his living by killing PEG.
pie and then selling them. When his
acquittal become known there Was a
great deal of bitter disappointment
Judge Duffy received a note threaten
ing his life for his action. Perry and
Hawkins lett the Jail quietly at II
o'clock this morning. They separated
at once. Perry took circuitous route
and avoided any recognition. When at
the corner Of Baltimore and Pacific
streets, however, a bootblack saw
him and shouted. "There goes
Ferry " The pavements were
throngcd with colorcd people
and workmen Of the factories. The
cry of the bootbiack was passed
around, and in minute OF two
crowd was at PerTy's heels. The old
man Was terribly frightened. He ran
as fast as he could, and fortunately for
him he found the gate leading to the
Medical College open. Into this he
rushed just i'll time 20 escape the mob,
now very largely increased. The mob
attacked the front entrance of the uni
ycrsity, but the policemen that had
been called arrived and drove the
crowd back. Tonight officers are
guarding Perry from the anger of his
race. Tomorrow he viii ask TO be
sent back to jail. He prefers a few
years of life within prison walls 10 a
day of liberty followed by lynching.
Since the "burking' case the ghost
of the murdered woman has been fire.
quently seen 10y the negroes, 50 they
say, and the occupants of the house
have all moved out. Many of them
Will not go out after dark. Most Of
those who do carry razors or reyolvers.
LAST night a colored man when arrested
showed upa big bulldog revolver. His
excuse was that he was "heeled for
burkers." 4 few nights ago a small
boy saw two colored men coming to-
